The problem is even he is exhausted trying to shore up his “both sides” arguments. That much reason tells us. These are chilling days. The Republicans will not agree to a bipartisan report on Trump’s rape of the Capitol for an obvious reason: better than half the party is complicit in the criminality. Thinkers like Bob helped create this situation when he made the conscious, hardly rational choice that only the left deserved critiquing. And he has never been able to admit much that he was wrong.

If Godel's theorem can be discounted, in the face of so much support for it, then anything can be and that opens the door to the kinds of lies and disinformation spread by the right. Up can be down, if a charismatic figure like Trump says so, because any lazy undereducated buffoon like Somerby can call Godel wrong, simply because he (like Howard Hughes and quite a few others) suffered from paranoid dementia at the end of his life.<br /><br />Somerby should be ashamed of himself, but like most Republicans these days, he has no shame.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-7862188229961919672021-05-27T11:38:25.585-04:002021-05-27T11:38:25.585-04:00"Will a general reader have any idea what tha..."Will a general reader have any idea what that formulation means? Without meaning this as a criticism of Budiansky, we'll note that the answer is clearly no."<br /><br />Do I need to understand electricity from a physics standpoint in order to appreciate reading about Thomas Edison's life? Clearly no. Do I need to understand the intricacies of musical composition in order to appreciate reading about Mozart's life? Clearly no. Why then, should I have to understand logic to appreciate reading about the life and troubles of Godel?<br /><br />Somerby is being an asshole because he wishes to discredit not only Godel's work, but also those who dare to write about his life. <br /><br />Somerby himself has written many times about Trump's purported craziness, without knowing thing 1 about psychology, much less psychiatry. He routinely writes about despairing anthropologists without knowing anything at all about what anthropologists do. He even writes about NAEP scores without any background in education theory, testing, or measurement of cognitive abilities, only classroom experience, and it has never bothered him to do so. But now he criticizes Budiansky for not devoting a biography (for God's sake) to discussing what the Incompleteness Theorem means.

More specifically, to see if Budiansky can make this topic accessible to "general readers.""<br /><br />When you read any biography or autobiography, the goal should be to understand the subject of that bio as a person, to get instead his head and explore his own motives, to see how he or she achieved what made them famous enough to earn a biography, and to understand the times in which they lived and worked in order to understand the forces that shape great men and women.<br /><br />If Somerby wants to understand Godel's Incompleteness Theorem, you don't read trade books about people's lives. You study mathematics and logic and computer science.<br /><br />At least Somerby admits he is not reading the book with an open mind. He is playing a game of gotcha, because he cannot stand it when someone else is more famous than he is, much like his idol, Trump.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-81921336959346745712021-05-27T11:13:46.007-04:002021-05-27T11:13:46.007-04:00There is a direct line from us vs. them propaganda...There is a direct line from us vs. them propaganda and the January 6 Capitol attack.
